Chapter 432: The Seal Goes Wrong
After returning to the inn, Aiweier still stared at Lingyun with a curious expression.
After all, there are probably very few people in this world who can calmly say the name of Lady Andiya, and judging by his tone, he seems to be an acquaintance of Lady Andiya.
"Stop looking. Even if Andiya appeared in front of me, she might not be able to guess who I am!" Lingyun reached out and tapped Aiweier's head lightly.
"Ugh..." Aiweier's little face puffed up all of a sudden. "Don't tap my head, I'm not a child!"
"Hee hee, how cute!" Chen Jing reached out and poked Aiweier's puffed-up, bun-like cheeks.
Even Su Wanyue couldn't help but reach out and pinch Aiweier's little cheeks.
"Waaah, you guys are bullying me!" Aiweier desperately shook off the devilish claws of Chen Jing and Su Wanyue and hid behind Lingyun.
"Alright, don't bully the child anymore." Lingyun smiled and stopped Chen Jing and the other.
"I am not a child!" Aiweier protested indignantly.
Lingyun ignored Aiweier's protest directly and turned to the waiter who was watching the three women play around in a daze: "Hello, may I ask what types of rooms you have here?"
"Well, we have single rooms, double rooms, and quadruple rooms." The waiter, having come back to their senses, replied hurriedly.
"Well, how do you all want to stay?" Lingyun cast his gaze toward the people beside him.
"How about this." Chen Jing scratched her head, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes. "Got it, let's get two single rooms and one double room. Wanyue and I will share one, and you and Aiweier will stay in one!"
Lingyun glanced at Aiweier, and Aiweier nodded, clearly agreeing with this arrangement.
"Right, this is for you." When they arrived at the door of the room, Lingyun handed a Jade Pendant in his hand to Aiweier.
"What is this?" Aiweier looked at the Jade Pendant in her hand with some confusion.
"You can think of it as a Magic Scroll in another state. Right now you are just an ordinary person and have no power to protect yourself. If you encounter any special circumstances, it will automatically trigger a protective shield to protect you." Lingyun said. "You can also crush it directly; it has an attack of mine sealed inside, which is enough to deal with most situations."
Aiweier curiously squeezed the Jade Pendant in her hand, feeling that it was hard: "Can this kind of thing really be crushed easily?"
"Don't you still have a trace of Magic in your body? As long as there is the stimulation of Magic, this Jade Pendant will shatter!" Lingyun said with a smile. "Well then, good night."
Aiweier entered her room and stared at the Jade Pendant in her hand with curiosity. She cautiously extended her Mental Power toward the Jade Pendant.
"Th-this is?" In her perception, a powerful force was dormant within the Jade Pendant.
Although this force was not as powerful as the Magic Scrolls she had crafted in her prime, any Sanctuary Powerhouse would be utterly vulnerable in the face of this power.
"This thing looks a bit familiar; I must have seen records of it somewhere!" Aiweier flipped through the Jade Talisman in her hand.
After pondering for a while, a flash of astonishment suddenly crossed Aiweier's eyes: "I seem to have seen records of this thing in the chronicles of the Lingyun Mercenary Group left behind by Lady Andiya back in the day. At that time, it seemed that only the Lingyun Mercenary Group could craft this kind of thing across the entire Continent. Ever since the Lingyun Mercenary Group disappeared, hasn't this thing been lost as well?"
After examining the Jade Pendant for a while, Aiweier put it away: "This person's name is Lingyun; maybe he really has some connection to the Lingyun Mercenary Group. No, this matter must be reported to Lady Andiya."
Aiweier quickly took off the necklace from her chest. This necklace hid a small Image Projection Magic Array and a Teleportation Magic Array. As long as it was triggered, it could record the image in front of her and then transmit it to the large Magic Array in the Morning Light Forest. Aiweier had always thought this necklace was of no use to her, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
After transmitting the image, Aiweier climbed onto her bed with satisfaction. The Long sword that had been sticking to her back all this time actually turned into a breeze and disappeared at this moment. During this time, she had either been hunted down or constantly traveling through the Magic Beast Forest. She was not the version of herself with powerful Magic now, and this journey had truly exhausted her.
"As expected, this soft, fluffy bed is my favorite!" Aiweier muttered, then closed her eyes.
In his own room, Lingyun beckoned slightly with his right hand, and a Long sword appeared in his hand; it was precisely the Wind Holy Sword that had been sticking to Aiweier's back.
After being held in Lingyun's hand, the Wind Holy Sword let out a series of hums, as if it were pouring out its longing for its master.
"You!" Lingyun's right hand flicked lightly against the Long sword. The Long sword let out a hum, appearing somewhat dissatisfied with Lingyun treating it this way.
"Purification Light! Red Lotus Karmic Fire!"
Lingyun shook his head slightly, released the Long sword, and formed seals with his hands. Specks of golden light flew out from his hands, and at the same time, wisps of red flame emerged from his right hand. The light and fire merged, forming a small Flame Domain in front of Lingyun.
Seeing the golden-red Flame Domain appear, the Wind Holy Sword let out a joyful hum and then fell directly into the Flame Domain. Wisps of Demon Qi overflowed from the Long sword, but they were quickly turned into pure energy under the effect of the Purification Light and Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and were absorbed by the Wind Holy Sword.
Lingyun, who was using the Double Domain to incinerate the Demon Qi, frowned slightly. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for such Demon Qi to appear on a Holy Sword. One must know that when he left the Continent, he had used six Spirit Swords he forged to form an endless cycle. Under this cycle, not only would the Demon Qi on the Lord of the Demon World be worn away, but the six Spirit Swords could also ascend into true Holy Swords with the help of the pure energy purified from the Demon Qi.
But now it seemed that the Sealing Array he had set up back then had gone wrong. Before he left this Continent, he had left a stone tablet where the body of the Lord of the Demon World was sealed, warning others not to move the six Spirit Swords without authorization within a hundred years, but it seemed someone didn't listen to the advice after all.
"Regardless, these six swords were left behind by me, so I have a need to understand their situation thoroughly." Lingyun pondered in his heart. "The soul of the Lord of the Demon World should have been completely crushed into nothingness by my secret technique back then, so it is impossible for him to revive again. Thinking about it this way, the greatest possibility is that someone is eyeing his corpse?"
After analyzing the most likely situation, Lingyun stopped paying attention to it. The Demon Qi on the Lord of the Demon World was not something easy to deal with. Even if the person who took action was one of the powerhouses from the Holy War back then, they would have to pay a hefty price to use the Demon Qi to do something.
As for the person who would come out to stir up trouble in the future by eyeing the corpse of the Lord of the Demon World, Lingyun didn't take it to heart either; after all, the full-form Lord of the Demon World had been finished off by him. If the guy borrowing the corpse popped out to mess around, it would just be a matter of taking action once more. The contingencies he left on the corpse of the Lord of the Demon World were more than just the Six Holy Swords Sealing Array!
